Mothers tend to be more direct. Fathers talk to other fathers about their kids more metaphorically. It's a different way of communication.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Mothers are fonder than fathers of their children because they are more certain they are their own.
Anyone who reads my work will see that there are often difficult relationships between fathers and sons.
Interactions between fathers and children are the starting point of education.
I'm not saying that men make better fathers than women do mothers.
Young people know how important it is for dads to be involved in their lives. As I travel the country and talk with students, some of them tell me that their lives would be totally different if their father was around.
There are certain things I talk to my mom and certain things I speak to dad for. But I also know that it has never been that I can tell my mum something and my dad won't know. They are very dependent on each other even though they may not say it or realise it.
As a father, I would say I am more like a mother. I do a lot of hugging.
I don't think the way I portray mother's and son's relationships has anything to do with my age or generation. It has to do with what I lived with my own mother and what it's transformed into and the point of view it has given me on mothers and women. The way I was brought up with women. It's all about personal background.
I think daughters can change the perception of their fathers.
Fathers should be neither seen nor heard. That is the only proper basis for family life.
